Tweed and RiflesA team competition for hunters that miss the good ol' days

Starts: Fri Feb 23rd 2018, 12:00 UTCEnds: Mon Mar 5th 2018, 12:00 UTC

Rules and Conditions

Teams: This is a team competition. Teams consist of two players. The teams are free to decide how to split the different species and weapon categories between them - as long as the special requirements are met (see below).

Combined normalized score of the ten animals of each team, the highest final score wins.

Scores will be normalized (highest competition entry for each species = 100).

Animals (except canada goose and cottontail rabbit) killed with a heart or lung shot will award a 5% bonus to the normalized score. (Either the heart or at least one lung must be hit, other organs may be hit too).

A canada goose or a cottontail rabbit that was killed with a bow will award a 5% bonus to the normalized score.

Non-typcial whitetails are not eligible for the competition

There can be infinite entry submissions ("improvements") per species and team, but only the last submitted animal of each species/team counts for the final leaderboard.

Special requirements:

One shot kills only.

The canada goose has to be shot airborne.

Each player of the team needs to contribute at least three animals to the final score.

Each of the five weapon categories (see above) needs to be used at least once per team on the final leaderboard. Make sure that your team owns at least one weapon of each category!

Expedition requirements:

Hunts must begin after the comp starts, and end before the comp ends.

Hunts/Scoresheets must be submitted within 24 hours of hunt ending (no sandbagging).

Hunts must be at least 30 minutes real time (1 game hour). Furthermore, if any participant is found to be blatantly spawn mashing, UHC Apps reserve the right to disqualify this participant from the competition and all future competitions hosted by UHC Apps.

Both SP and MP games are allowed. (See the additional rules for MP games below)

Illegal multiplayer cooperation:Joining a MP server that has previously been scouted for trophy animals by other hunters is considered unsportsmanlike behavior and a violation of the competition rules. Only team partners are exempt from this rule. In case of a violation, UHC Apps reserve the right to disqualify a participant from the competition and all future competitions hosted by UHC Apps. In order to monitor the adherence to this rule, whenever a player submits an animal from a multiplayer game, aspects of this hunt and the server host's hunt history will be checked by the system.

ConditionsI reserve the right to modify the rules and terms of this competition at any time between the date and time of this post, and the start of the competition. I also reserve the right to cancel this competition at any time. UHC and competition hosts reserve the right to disqualify any participant at their discretion for any reason, including but not limited to: cheating, unsportsmanlike conduct, harassment, et. al.Discrepancies & ambiguities in the rules or scoring site will be addressed by UHC or the competition host as expediently as possible.

Both will be possible. I know that some people would prefer SP-only comps, but since this is a team competition, I want to allow team players to hunt together. Though they don't have to - the teams can also split the objectives and do them each on their own in SP hunts.

The rules and conditions will be added in the next few days, as soon as registration on the UHC site starts...
